First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 8
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 8 twice. Alright. Finally the story started changing a little. It's a little interesting that demons aren't allowed in the flying fortress because Perugius doesn't like them. Because of that, Roxy wasn't allowed in. I guess she headed back by road on her own afterward because nobody was with her, and she knew it could take days. The reason why Rudy took time to be teleported was... Man God? Or the capacity of the magic? The teleport magic's animation reminded me of the background when Rudy met Man God.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 7
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 7 twice. This episode was the one about the natural progression of academy life, which was graduation. The main focus of the graduation was Linia and Pursena. In order to decide who would lead their tribes, they fought. Rudy was just excited and enjoyed watching the fight, though he didn't expect them to go their separate ways afterward. The fight took a long time, but the animation wasn't good. They mostly animated only a few specific characters, or shot the fight from a long distance. Maybe the production saved effort in this episode because it wasn't an important fight. Anyhow, they were worried about going their separate ways, but it seemed like they met immediately after they departed the city, so they were still really like glue.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 15
This note includes a spoiler, and not only about this episode. I watched Re:Zero season 4 episode 15 twice. I didn't see this coming. What was impressive was that Subaru counted his deaths and kept retrying like 15 times. And there were so many attempts he made, but almost everything was aimed at killing him. And he ended up unable to move his legs out of fear, because after so many attempts, he knew he would die whichever route he tried next.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 14
This note includes a spoiler, and not only about this episode. I watched Re:Zero season 4 episode 14 twice. I didn't expect that ending. So, in this episode, I was able to understand a lot of things. First of all, if Subaru, Ram, and Beatrice rushed to Emilia's place, Shaula turned into a scorpion. Why did that happen to her? It was probably a spell her master cast on her in the past, one that would turn her into a mabeast if she went outside of the tower, in order to stop her from abandoning the tower. So I bet while she was protecting the tower on the balcony, something pushed her and she became the mabeast.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 13
This note includes a spoiler, and not only about this episode. I watched Re:Zero season 4 episode 13 twice. "That is that, this is this." I think it made sense how other people like Julius felt toward Subaru. Subaru spoke like he knew Julius pretty well, even though Subaru had said he lost his memory the day before. It sounded like a lie, but he was on his fifth life because of the return by death, and he saw how Julius confronted Reid by himself in a desperate situation. Honestly, if I were Julius, I would think he was lying for some reason, or just a creepy person. But Julius trusted him and believed his words, and also he had his pride as a knight. So he looked like he was convinced by what Subaru said.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 12
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 12 twice. So, Re:Zero season 4 was one of the most anticipated seasons I'd waited for. It started after Subaru returned by death 4 times in a short period of time in the tower of... What? Saint? And in the previous loop, he distrusted everyone because he was killed 3 times, but then he noticed everyone was really worried about him and he also was saved by Emilia from disappearing. So, it was pretty natural that he broke down in tears when he came back and saw Beatrice was alive. I forgot how she died in the previous loop, though. I remembered Meili, Foxidna, Julius, and Emilia.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 6
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 6 twice. This episode was mostly between Rudy and Sara. Sara, and how he parted ways with her, was one issue Rudy hadn't solved until this episode. So the main focus in this episode was to solve it, and it started with Sylphie's kid and Rudy. Honestly, I didn't recognize Suzanne at first, but once I did, it made sense that she had quit being an adventurer and gotten married. And she even got a job as a nanny at Rudy's house. Then, obviously, Rudy met Sara on the next job, but he avoided her, or ran away from her. I was a little pissed off. Why would he do that? But then he talked with her about the past and what happened, and showed how mature he had become. In terms of Sara, she felt a little sad after talking to Rudy, and I thought she had regrets. She might have, but after talking to Rudy she understood why it couldn't have worked, and she moved on. And then she and Rudy really became good friends. I liked her.

Random thoughts after rewatching The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 9
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched The Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 9 twice. In this episode, the poison was alcohol and salt, and sweetness was involved too. Gaoshun was like a father to Jinshi. He also said he had known Jinshi since he was a kid, and he was surprised by Jinshi's childish behavior toward Maomao. He didn't seem to welcome it because Jinshi should behave like a higher-up, so he is a strict and disciplined person.

Random thoughts after rewatching The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 8
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 8 twice. Well, this episode was probably just a side story in the Verdigris House. Maomao's dad was really good, but it was hard to confirm he was right. She might have imagined he was that good and that he was able to guess it from only a small amount of evidence, though he didn't say a word. And also, why didn't he say anything other than asking her a couple of questions? So, I couldn't figure out whether he was really that talented or not. Also, from the result of Maomao's conjecture, it would have been almost magic if he had deduced it. There were 2 drinks and I couldn't figure it out until she worked it through. That said, he didn't receive the money, which included a hush-money fee. So he might have known that at least that person was suspicious. So, they all planned to poison him.

Random thoughts after rewatching The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 7
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 7 twice. The episode started the day after the garden party in the previous episode. I wondered where Maomao was sleeping in such a good bed, but it was one of the rooms in the Jade Pavilion. It was rare that Maomao and Gaoshun talked about issues without Jinshi, so it felt odd to me. But Jinshi seemed to be wiped out, so Gaoshun needed to do it by himself. Also, it was originally her own request, so it made sense. Maomao thought Lady Lishu couldn't read the room at first, but she figured out it was because she was bullied. So, it was great that that first impression actually had a reason behind it. Jinshi also showed his lazy, easygoing side to Gaoshun. Yeah, that was a young man who acts sociable for other people. When Gyokuyou teased him, he was so upset and she found it so funny. It was nice to see her like that.
